Wheeler Chair Robot
I saw that last year somebody had built a wheel chair robot?. My idea for the new Robot will be as a stage mascot that can also pretend to play the drums on stage. My brother has a live Metal band every Saturday night and most of the time we have trouble with no drummer showing up. We end up using a Drum machine instead with the 2 other guys on real guitars and singing. So Terminator will be able to move around and substitute behind the drum kit with the Live drum machine signal activating terminator arms at the drums. Also need him to move around in a wheel chair , so is anyone out there that has done this wheel chair hack, looking for suggestions on power/motor controller connections etc...should not be too hard just larger than I'm used to building. This is a youtuber that bought what I just bought,takes a month to get from China and we are building the rest of the Endoskeleton to integrate in wheel chair....

I am interested on what you use as tank trax as when I look around to buy,there are only small robot versions, then the larger ones are nearly $1000.00 ,unless you are making them yourself . Then I could match with proper size motors,gears for the track drive.
I make them myself, first 3D print the track , make a mold from silicon or amazing remelt and pour in liquid rubber about 80D shore rating. The stiffness is like car tire rubber
Hey that's great! I don't have my Printer yet but I will in the new year, I'll hit you up for detailed plans then!
I have seen people use strips of rubber conveyor belts joined to form a loop as tank treads quite effectively. Think about the conveyor material at the check out stand. They used lawn mower wheels for bogeys and made plywood drive sprockets. The belts are fiber reinforced which you really need to keep the tracks from stretching/snapping.
Here's a link that might get you thinking.

Wow great find Perry, exactly the type of project I could copy!
So the new starwars movie hit the interwebs last night, watching now on my Oculus Go streamed from my main computer, Great movie so far,had to pause the kodi as I found an interesting spin on the new robots in the movie. You know how dogs were mistreated by owners and then end up in the Animal control cages? Afraid of humans trying to pet them? So they find one abandoned robot like that to join their crew. Amazing idea to program into a robot, make it shy,timmid but still curious of human owners, I love it!
Wow this announcement makes a Happy New Year for 2020!...
